You don't have to turn your camera around to retreat like with Soldier's sprint. Sliding is handy for catching up to the action, but it's an even better escape tool thanks to its omnidirectional control. It's a very quick burst of movement that covers a lot of ground (it reminds me of Echo's initial flight speed boost speed if she were glued to the ground). Tapping Shift sends Sojourn into a rocket-propelled slide in whatever direction she's facing. Sojourn's other main ability is the Power Slide. I can also imagine a few other scenarios where Sojourn could get a lot of value from it, like forcing weaker enemies off a payload or snaring heroes already caught in Zarya's Graviton Surge. The ability seems a little wimpy on its own, but I ate those words a few times when I died after getting yanked into Disruptor Shot by a Roadhog hook or Orisa's new javelin throw.
It's a bit like getting out of the way of Moira's poison orb, except it doesn't follow you around. I found it pretty easy to avoid if you see it coming, and even when I didn't, I was able to walk out of it without taking much damage. The many ways that Overwatch heroes have to yank, freeze, lift, or push other characters around can be overwhelming and annoying, but going against Disruptor Shot hasn't been a hassle so far.
